Expert Note
View More NotesMason Miller solidified himself as one of baseball's most dominant relievers in 2025, posting a sub-3.00 ERA with a staggering 44.4% strikeout rate and elite bat-missing ability that ticked up even further after his move to San Diego. His year-over-year gains in K% (41.8% in 2024 to 44.4% in 2025) came with louder contact suppression, as opponents hit just .139 overall with a .493 OPS. While walks remain the lone blemish (12.0% BB%), his improved ground-ball rate and sustained triple-digit velocity give him a rare margin for error. The 2026 projections continue to view Miller as a high-volume saves source with league-best ratios, firmly cementing him as a top-tier fantasy closer and one of the safest bullpen anchors on draft day.
